Greetings- I'm looking to farm 10 acres in Antelope valley and dont have a water or power source. Will be hauling water in and storing in 10k water tanks. What is most reliable and efficient means of powering a drip irrigation system? The land has a natural slope and I've read a gravity system may work but solar or turbine powered? Also which brands manufacture high quality systems? Pumps,lines,batteris,solar?

Coming from an area with 46 inches of rainfall,  I am not going to pretend to know much about irrigation.    But to move this on a little, how much land do you plan to have in crops?  What crops are you planning on raising?

The glass is neither half full or half empty. It is too big. But this tiny ad is just right:
